美国国会议员普遍比普通民众富裕,其中八位参议员的净资产估值在五千万美元或以上。值得注意的是,这八位参议员中,有半数是在去年刚刚当选,并且有六位是共和党籍。文章基于参议员们最新的2024年财务披露报告,分析了他们的资产和负债情况,包括配偶的资产。报告指出,参议员无需披露精确的资产价值,只须提供一个价值区间,并且个人住宅的价值不包含在内。文章列举了其中几位财富较高的参议员,包括可能身家过十亿美元的吉姆·贾斯蒂斯,以及里克·斯科特、大卫·麦考米克、蒂姆·希伊、马克·华纳、皮特·里凯茨、理查德·布鲁门撒尔和伯尼·莫雷诺。

💰 **财富集中与新晋富豪**:美国参议院中存在一批身家显著的议员,其中八位净资产估值在五千万美元以上。引人注目的是,这八位中的半数是新近当选的(2024年),且多数(六位)为共和党籍,这反映了近年来参议院财富构成的一些变化。

⚖️ **财富披露机制与估值局限**:参议员的财富信息来源于年度财务披露,但其机制允许提供资产价值的范围,而非精确数字,且不强制披露个人住宅价值。因此,文中列出的财富数据是基于最低资产价值的估算,实际财富可能更高,也存在部分数据(如吉姆·贾斯蒂斯的亿万富翁身份)受到质疑的情况。

📈 **主要财富来源多样化**:这些富裕参议员的财富来源各异,包括但不限于:矿业和度假村(吉姆·贾斯蒂斯)、投资组合和航空资产(里克·斯科特)、对冲基金和房地产(大卫·麦考米克)、航空消防公司股权(蒂姆·希伊)、广泛的投资组合(马克·华纳)、家族企业(皮特·里凯茨)、家族投资(理查德·布鲁门撒尔),以及房地产和汽车行业(伯尼·莫雷诺)。

💼 **部分议员的商业背景**:多位参议员在进入政界前拥有丰富的商业背景。例如,吉姆·贾斯蒂斯拥有煤矿和度假村,里克·斯科特曾联合创办医院连锁,大卫·麦考米克是知名对冲基金前CEO,蒂姆·希伊创立了航空消防公司,皮特·里凯茨家族拥有金融服务公司,伯尼·莫雷诺曾经营汽车经销商并创立区块链公司。这些经验可能与其在参议院的政策立场和关注点相关。

Sens. Jim Justice and Rick Scott, two of the richest members of the Senate, high-fiving at the Capitol in April.

You probably already knew that members of Congress tend to be wealthy. What you may not realize is that some of them are ultrawealthy.

Eight members of the US Senate are worth about $50 million or more, according to their financial disclosures. One of them might be a billionaire. And there are several others who, though not nearly as wealthy, are still multi-millionaires.

Half of the eight wealthiest senators were only elected last year, and six of those eight are Republicans.

This list is based on an analysis of the assets and liabilities disclosed in senators' annual financial disclosures covering 2024, which are the most recent available. Assets owned by spouses are included.

Members of Congress are not required to disclose the exact dollar values of their assets and liabilities, but rather a range of values. They are also not required to disclose the value of personal residences. Senators are listed in descending order based on the sum of the minimum value of their assets.

Sen. Jim Justice of West Virginia
Republican Sen. Jim Justice of West Virginia may be the sole billionaire serving in the US Senate.

Sen. Jim Justice is by far the wealthiest senator — at least on paper.

The West Virginia Republican disclosed owning over $1 billion worth of assets in 2024. The bulk of that value is tied up in various coal and mining companies that Justice owns, along with the luxury Greenbrier resort.

However, there's some reason to doubt that Justice is a billionaire.

Though he was listed as a billionaire by Forbes for several years, he was removed from the list in 2021 after it was revealed that he owed a significant amount of debt. Last year, Forbes reported that Justice and his companies were in so much debt, he had a negative net worth.

Spokespeople for Justice did not return a request for comment.

After serving as governor since 2017, Justice was elected to the Senate in 2024, succeeding retiring Sen. Joe Manchin.

Sen. Rick Scott of Florida
Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida is worth more than $240 million.

Sen. Rick Scott is worth somewhere between $243 million and $744 million, according to his financial disclosure.

The Florida Republican's largest assets include his personal residence in Naples and a series of airplanes he owns, both of which are valued between $25 million and $50 million. The rest of mostly held in various investment funds.

Scott was elected to the Senate in 2018. He first entered politics in 2010, when he ran for governor of Florida and narrowly won the election.

McCormick also owns a ranch investment property in Colorado worth between $25 million and $50 million, plus other multimillion-dollar properties in Dallas, Washington, DC, and Pennsylvania. He and his wife also have significant investments in corporate, municipal, and US Treasury bonds.

The Pennsylvania Republican also disclosed liabilities worth between $14 million and $66 million, including a mortgage and a line of credit he took out in 2024.

McCormick was elected to the Senate in 2024 after defeating Democratic Sen. Bob Casey.

Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana
Republican Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana is worth more than $100 million.

Sen. Tim Sheehy is worth at least $100 million — but he could be worth north of $300 million.

The Montana Republican's 2024 disclosure includes an ownership interest in an entity called "Turtle Lake Holding Company" worth over $50 million. The holding company holds millions of shares in Bridger Aerospace, the aerial firefighting company that Sheehy founded before entering politics.

He also disclosed owning two properties in Montana valued between $5 million and $25 million. His one liability, a mortgage, is valued between $1 million and $5 million.

Sheehy was elected in 2024, defeating Democratic Sen. Jon Tester.

Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia
Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia is worth more than $76 million.

Sen. Mark Warner is the wealthiest Democratic senator on Capitol Hill, boasting a net worth between $76 million and $303 million.

Much of the Virginia senator's wealth is tied up in various investment funds.

For example, he and his wife have between $7 million and $35 million in SPY, an exchange-traded fund that holds stock in all companies in the S&P 500 index. He also has millions invested in municipal bonds.

Warner was elected to the Senate in 2008. He was previously governor of Virginia, and before that, he was a venture capitalist who invested in a variety of tech companies.

Sen. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska
Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska is worth more than $74 million.

Sen. Pete Ricketts is worth between $74 million and $293 million, according to his disclosure.

The Nebraska Republican is the son of Joe Ricketts, who founded the stockbroker TD Ameritrade and whose family owns the Chicago Cubs.

TD Ameritrade was acquired by Charles Schwab in 2020, and between $26 million and $155 million of the younger Ricketts's net worth comes from Charles Schwab stock.

He also has personal residences in Omaha and Washington, DC that are each worth between $1 million and $5 million.

Ricketts was appointed to the Senate in 2023, succeeding fellow Republican Sen. Ben Sasse. He was previously the governor of Nebraska.
